Report: Local hotels remained mostly empty in January

Hotels in the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado saw occupancy rates and prices drop in late 2020, and there were few signs of a rebound in the first month of 2021.

Rooms across the region remained mostly unbooked in January as no city in the region surpassed a 50% occupancy rate last month, according to the Rocky Mountain Lodging Report released Wednesday by the Colorado Hotel and Lodging Association.

Northern Colorado cities fared a bit better, with Greeley leading the way with a 45.5% occupancy rate. The average nightly stay cost $75.28 in January.
